this treaty that's before us today was adopted by the united nations in 2006 with 153 nations as signatories, and so far 116 as ratifying parties. and it has been six long years that the united states has not joined as a ratifying party. this treaty has passed with strong bipartisan support through the foreign relations committee in a vote we took back in july after hearings, and it's been nearly six months since that vote. and yet this treaty sadly faces opposition here on the floor of the united states senate. this convention on the rights of persons with disabilities was negotiated during the bush administration and it enjoys strong bipartisan support and i am proud to join senators mccain and barrasso, moran, durbin, harkin, udall and many others who've been advocating for its passage since march. it would, as has been said, not require any changes to u.s. law and would have no impact on our federal budget. it would instead promote u.s. business interests by creating a level playing field for u.s. companies by equalizing accessibility requirements that foreign businesses must meet, and i
